Holly Hock in Oil

HOLLY HOCK 8x10

This is my first blog entry of doing the flower first

in Watercolors then painting it in oils. I always say oils are easier,

but after this project I don't know that this is true.

I have been reading the book Simple Abundance, by

Sarah Ban Breathnach. If you notice at the top of

of my blog it says" The Canvas of My Life". When I set up the

blog several years ago,I used this phrase as a

focus of the blog and my daily life. Sometimes

things happen that give you a "WOW" moment , well one of Sarah's quotes is

"Pick up the needle with me and make the first stitch on the

canvas of your life". This gave me a step back, take notice' great mother spirit telling me?

Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's day tomorrow!
